Creative Maintenance: Alexis Young and Malcolm Holt (of Blonde Diamond)

We’ve all heard the saying “teamwork makes the dream work” right? Something that’s funny about that phrase is how it doesn’t leave room to highlight how our individual journeys also contribute heavily within a team setting. Today’s podcast inadvertently is an exploration of that, thanks to Vancouver-based artists Alexis Young and Malcolm Holt. Both are members of the indie pop band Blonde Diamond, along with Alexis also being a Co-Founder/Creative Director at the advertising agency Definitely Real, and Malcolm being the founder of the custom screen printing company Pressing Matters. Together, they chat with us about how being multidisciplinary creatives in 2025 feels like a necessity, but how it’s not a path to be feared.
